Sep 2nd - Song of the Month, Day 2: This could end up being an all-star month, with nothing but celebrity covers. Here are the Carpenters.
Sep 3rd - Song of the Month, Day 3: I started off this month with what I thought was the first performance of "The Rainbow Connection" seen by the public, from "The Muppet Movie". But it turns out there was an ever earlier version, on a Muppet TV special to publicize the movie. So, here is that version!
Sep 4th - Song of the Month, Day 4: Another big name does a cover.
